D Em G D D Em G D If you would’ve blinked then I would’ve, looked away at the first D Em G D glance, if you tasted poison you could’ve, spit me out at the first D Em G D chance, if I was some paint did it splatter, on a promising grown D Em G D man, and if I was a child, did it matter, if you got to wash your hands D Em G D Oh, all I used to do was pray D Em G D Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve, if you’d never looked my way G D C C I would’ve stayed, on my knees, and I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil G D C C At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was G D C C heaven, and now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts, memories feel like G D C C weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering D Em G D If you never touched me I would’ve, gone along with the D Em G D righteous, if I never blushed then they could’ve, never whispered about D Em G D this, and if you never saved me from boredom, I could’ve gone on as I D Em G D was, but lord, you made me feel important, and then you tried to erase us Em D C C Oh, you’re a crisis of my faith Em D C C Would’ve, could’ve, should’ve, if I’d only played it safe G D C C I would’ve stayed, on my knees, and I damn sure never would’ve danced with the devil G D C C At nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was G D C C heaven, and now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts, memories feel like G D C C weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering G D C C God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in G D C C my mind, I regret you all the time G D C C I can’t let this go, I fight with you in my sleep, the wound won’t close, I keep on waiting G D C C for a sign, I regret you all the time Em D C C If clarity’s in death then why won’t this die? Em D C C Years of tearing down our banners, you and I G D C C Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts G D C C Give me back my girlhood, it was mine first G D C C And I damn sure never would’ve danced with the G D C C devil, at nineteen, and the god’s honest truth is that the pain was G D C C heaven, and now that I’m grown, I’m scared of ghosts, memories feel like G D C C weapons, and now that I know, I wish you’d left me wondering G D C C God rest my soul, I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in G D C C my mind, I regret you all the time G D C C I can’t let this go, I fight with you in my sleep, the wound won’t close, I keep on waiting G D C C for a sign, I regret you all the time G D C C Oh, god rest my soul, I miss who I used to be, the tomb won’t close, stained glass windows in G D C C my mind, I regret you all the time G D C C I can’t let this go, I fight with you in my sleep, the wound won’t close, I keep on waiting G D C C for a sign, I regret you all the time
